Salt Creek Golf Retreat

Peaceful Golf Retreat Just Outside the Music Scene

Modern comfort meets rustic charm at Salt Creek Golf Retreat, tucked away in the scenic hills of Nashville, Indiana. Located just 21 miles from Bloomington's top music venues and Indiana University, this laid-back resort-style hotel is a perfect escape for concert-goers who want a quiet, relaxed stay after a high-energy night out.
Spacious suites come with homey amenities like full kitchens, private balconies, and even pool views in select units. With free parking, free WiFi, and a seasonal outdoor pool, it’s a serene hideaway with everything you need—and nothing you don’t.

Why Concert-goers love it

After the encore fades, return to a peaceful room with a private balcony and unwind under the stars. The hotel is far enough from the action to offer quiet nights, yet close enough (just a short drive) to venues in Bloomington and the IU campus. With a flexible 4:00 PM check-in, it’s easy to arrive post-soundcheck, and the 11:00 AM check-out gives you time to recover after a late night.
